RENT AMPLIFIER RESEARCH 10S1G4 Amplifier (call for availability)
The Amplifier Research 10S1G4 is a cutting-edge solid-state, self-contained, air-cooled broadband amplifier, engineered specifically for applications demanding instantaneous bandwidth, robust gain, and exceptional linearity. Its sleek contemporary cabinet design allows for versatility, suited for both bench-top operation and immediate equipment rack mounting when detached from the cabinet.
When paired with a sweep generator, the AR 10S1G4 guarantees a minimum RF power output of 13 watts. The integrated front panel gain control facilitates user-friendly adjustments to attain the desired output level with precision. Enhanced protection features include an RF input leveling circuit that regulates RF input to the amplifier's first stage, preventing overdrive when the RF input exceeds 0 dBm. Additionally, the amplifier stages are safeguarded against over-temperature conditions by disconnecting the DC voltage in cases of cooling failure or blockages. A convenient digital display on the front panel provides real-time status updates and fault conditions, empowering users to quickly address any over-temperature or power supply issues. The AR 10S1G4 supports both local and remote control through its digital panel, utilizing IEEE-488 (GPIB) or RS-232 interfaces for seamless operation.
Featuring low spurious signal output and superior linearity, the AR 10S1G4 is ideally suited as a driver amplifier for testing wireless and communication components and subsystems. Its broad frequency coverage makes it compatible with various communication technologies, including CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA, and GSM. Moreover, it excels in EMC test applications where undistorted modulation envelopes are critical.
